Omaha OKVIP Instruction
Omaha is a variation of Texas Hold’em. Each player is dealt four hole cards. Five community cards are dealt face-up on the ‘board’. In Omaha games, all players must use exactly three of the community cards together with exactly two of their four hole cards to make the best five-card poker hand. Omaha’s hand ranking is no different from Texas Hold’em.
Like Texas Hold’em, Omaha also has game types such as Pot Limit, Fixed Limit and No Limit. Among them, Pot Limit Omaha is the most popular form.

Pot Limit, No Limit, Fixed Limit Omaha
Omaha rules remain the same for Fixed Limit, No Limit and Pot Limit poker games, with a few exceptions:
Pot Limit Omaha
- The minimum bet in Pot Limit Omaha is the same as the size of the big blind, but players can always bet up to the size of the pot.
- Minimum raise: The raise amount must be at least as much as the previous bet or raise in the same round. As an example, if the first player to act bets $5 then the second player must raise a minimum of $5 (total bet of $10).
- Maximum raise: The size of the pot, which is defined as the total of the active pot, plus all bets on the table, plus the amount the active player must first call before raising.
Example: If the size of the pot is $100, and there is no previous action on a particular betting round, a player may bet a maximum of $100. After that bet, the action moves to the next player clockwise. That player can either fold, call $100, or raise any amount between the minimum ($100 more) and the maximum. The maximum bet in this case is $400 – the raiser would first call $100, bringing the pot size to $300, and then raise $300 more, making a total bet of $400.
- In Pot Limit Omaha, there is no ‘cap’ on the number of raises allowed.
No Limit Omaha
- The minimum bet in No Limit Omaha is the same as the size of the big blind, but players can always bet as much more as they want, up to all of their chips.
- Minimum raise: In No Limit Omaha, the raise amount must be at least as much as the previous bet or raise in the same round. As an example, if the first player to act bets $5 then the second player must raise a minimum of $5 (total bet of $10).
- Maximum raise: The size of your stack (your chips on the table).
- In No Limit Omaha, there is no ‘cap’ on the number of raises allowed.
Fixed Limit Omaha
Betting in Fixed Limit Omaha is in pre-determined, structured amounts. Pre-flop and on the flop, all bets and raises are of the same amount as the big blind. On the turn and the river, the size of all bets and raises doubles. In Limit Omaha, up to four bets are allowed per player during each betting round. This includes a (1) bet, (2) raise, (3) re-raise, and (4) cap (final raise).
